[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good points from contractor and kids perspective.

And, oh my gosh, until reading this thread, I nearly forgot about a story from like 1982! Three of us 11/12 year old girls were at a friends house and a contractor was working in the kitchen.

We went to get snacks and chatted together and with him. Polite and friendly as you we’re supposed to be. It  started to progress to mature things.... he stopped working and had a mature “you Girls really should know” quality as he delved into dating, boyfriends, kissing.... you can tell if somebody has had sex, and more....  I recall being intrigued then feeling uncomfortable and slowly backing up  and easing out of the kitchen with another girl. But, one of the girls wanted to remain  talking......  we finally said “come on” and dragged her out. I don’t think we’d been schooled in this, but two of us kinda had our antenna up enough to know this was a “not supposed to” convo.  It never occurred to us to tell her parents. I never I mentioned it to mine.  No harm thankfully, but with phones and potential ongoing contact between teen/tween and adult... not a good idea.

Man, I need to have a conversation with my kids about the recognize your instinct and keep us posted!!!  Good luck. [/quote]
